In the early 2000s RH Plastcenter Oy (now known as Plastcenter Nordic Oy) published 24 unique Windows games in Finland, on credit card shaped CDs called 'Pocket Playcard Game'. They required no installation and could be played straight off the discs.

The games were developed by Cube Design Oy, with coding help from Inmar Software Oy for some of the later "batch 2" games. Each game was developed in just a few weeks.

Initially, Playcard games were sold exclusively at Finnish R-Kioski convenience stores for 29,90 mk each (almost 7 EUR/8 USD in today's money). Afterwards some of these games also reached Sweden, Germany, and Central America in some capacity.

Big thanks to Plastcenter Nordic Oy for allowing me to upload all these games to Internet Archive and preserving a part of the Finnish gaming history.
